My landlord's son is just like this guy, 29, never had to work a day in his life, just drives around in a black Audi that his folks gave him, no concept of reality whatsoever. It's making me paranoid thinking about the similarities...

Rodger's family has said he was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. Adam Lanza had Asperger's also. The medical community keeps telling us that there is no link between Asperger's and violence/aggression, but these recent shootings suggest otherwise.

Oh and don't forget Martin Bryant he was diagnosed (after the fact) as having Asperger's syndrome .. see A mother's burden ..under the documentary section on here... Martin mowed down 35 people (mostly tourists) before he was caught early the next morning back in 1996.

PARENTING, or a lack thereof, has everything to do with this kids behavior.

Asperger kids, as a whole, are not the monsters the media portrays them to be, based on the actions of a few.

Proper parenting would have made a HUGE difference in the way this kid turned out.

Just because somebody that does something has something doesnt mean that something is responsible for something else

Where do you get Asperger kids get treated like monsters by the media ? Most people probably don't know the difference between an Asperger's kid and a kid with Autism.. you probably don't either , so genericname79 makes a very good point .. how many people are gonna have to die before the medical community will start to take notice ..hmmnn

How do you figure?

People do what they want to do regardless of what is right or wrong and how they happened to be brought up. This is also not a kid. He is a 22 year old man that suffered from a severe case of douchebaggery.

You cant blame Asperger Syndrome for a persons actions. Asperger Syndrome can get in the way of his ability to forge new relationships with people, but ultimately, the decision to go out and do harm to others rests with the individual.

Yes, Tiffany, I do. I have first hand experience with Aspergers. I get tired of people automatically saying "Oh he had Aspergers" Linking them all together, as if they are all cut from the same cloth.
